Who pays for the damage from extreme weather?

Most of us can agree that it is not fair for those least responsible to pay the biggest price; but the reality is that the biggest polluters are currently paying NOTHING towards the costs of increasingly severe extreme weather events that are destroying millions of lives and homes.

The oil and gas industry poisons our atmosphere, and they have known for decades that their production is causing the climate crisis. Instead of addressing the issue, they covered it up. They did this to continue to make profits: Reportedly over US$2.8 billion[1] every day for the past 50 years

    It's not fair that communities hit by severe weather are left picking up the pieces while big polluters walk away without bearing the costs.

      The polluters should take responsibility of their actions and deal with the kind of pollution that they bring about.

        It's frustrating that those most responsible for climate damage aren't bearing the costs—it's time for fair accountability and action

          It's past time for accountability and systemic change to ensure those responsible bear the costs of the destruction they've wrought on lives and homes worldwide

            A universal agreement should exist to coerce the biggest polluters of the ecosystem to be held liable and pay for their atrocities.
